ball at foot

After winning 2-1, Liverpool once again achieved a two-round double kill against their opponents.Such a result is indeed enough to make Liverpool proud.

After this game, Liverpool once again stepped into the semi-finals of the Champions League.

At the same time, the results of other games came out: Barcelona, ​​Milan, Liverpool, Arsenal, the four teams together entered the Champions League semi-finals.

Barcelona's winning is normal.Their strength is already much stronger than Inter Milan.In fact, in the past two seasons, with Moratti stepping down and Facchetti taking office, the situation of Inter Milan has changed a lot.Although the combat effectiveness of Inter Milan under the leadership of Mancini may be worse than that of the Cooper period, it can be seen in terms of investment, team unity, team overall tactical framework, as well as the team's future development and current results. If you look at it, it's pretty good.

But this is good, and it is only relatively speaking.Both Juventus and Milan are recognized as strong teams in the world. Compared with such teams, Inter Milan is indeed a level behind.Those two teams have first-class stars in almost every position. In contrast, Inter Milan is not 01:30 points behind.Although they have Adriano, who is known as the world's number one center forward, Adriano's state is unstable, and he is famous for his ups and downs. When he is good, no matter what difficult goals he can score The kick was helpless, and his shots were watched by several people and found it enjoyable.But when he was bad, he was so angry that he wanted to scold him to relieve his anger.There are very few Brazilian players who live in Milan, the fashion capital, who can not be depraved. [

Against Barcelona, ​​at San Siro, Inter Milan relied on Adriano who played well to win a 2-1 victory, but in the away game, Adriano misfired, and they lost 0 -3, was eliminated directly.

This is a great thing for Barcelona: they are far ahead of Real Madrid in the league, and the league title is already very stable.In the Copa del Rey match, they were eliminated in the semi-finals by their rivals Espanyol, which also ended the schedule.Now, what they need is a Champions League honor to justify the peak name of this team they call the second dream team.

The situation is similar for Milan: at this time, Juventus is still 7 points ahead of them, and just before the round, they are 9 points ahead of them.Such a point difference also made Milan feel desperate.The stability of Juventus this season makes people feel terrible. They have only lost one game throughout the season, and they are really a terrible enemy.

For Milan this season, the Coppa Italia is out of play. Although the league is very likely to score more than 80 points, it is also out of play.All their remaining hope is a Champions League, and they are naturally ready to go all out.

Liverpool and Arsenal are different.Liverpool's advantage over Chelsea has dropped to 1 point, and there is one winless game in the remaining five rounds, that is, they lose all games.And coupled with the Champions League and FA Cup matches, Liverpool has the most intense schedule among the Champions League semi-finals, and it is also the team with the most pressure.

Although he double-killed the opponent in the eight-to-four match, after all, the opponent is Villarreal, who is considered the weakest by everyone.Moreover, Zhao Yaning was suspended for the first game, and Alonso and Gerrard also had yellow cards. It is very likely that they will be suspended for the second game. It's hard to say.

And Arsenal are still seven points away from the No.4 Tottenham. Five rounds of games need to recover seven points. Even if one of the games is the North London Derby, this task seems to be an impossible task. The road to grab the fourth is also extremely difficult.For Liverpool, if they lose, they lose a championship and lose the result of their hard work this year.But for Arsenal, if they lose, they will not only lose this year, but even the next season may be involved.

Wenger's current statement has also changed from winning the championship at the beginning of the season to striving for the top four-in fact, it is impossible to remain the same. Chelsea and Liverpool have already led Arsenal by more than [-] points. Even the top four teams are all It was a five-game losing streak all the way, and the rest of the games were scored. Arsenal won all the games, and they were also overwhelmed. Next season, they will have to play in the play-offs.And even Wenger has now admitted the failure of this season, but seeing Arsenal's decline to this point, many people are questioning whether he can really lead the team into the top four.After all, Tottenham lead them by a full seven points, and this gap is not easy to catch up.

But no one can blame Wenger for anything.After a 0-0 draw with Juventus in the away game, Arsenal have advanced to the semi-finals in history.Relying on Henry and a group of youth troops to achieve such results, it is not easy for Arsenal.

But at this time, another thing has attracted the attention of many people-the best team of the Premier League this season has now been selected.This season started early and ended early, and the various selections obviously have to be earlier.

On the forward line, Henry and Rooney were successfully elected.The former is a figure without any controversy. As long as he is still in the Premier League for a day, he is the best striker in the Premier League. This is very obvious.He suffered a lot of injuries this season, but his scoring rate of nearly one goal per game is also a career high. Now he is still a strong leader in the scorer list. Suffice it to say what he does.

In another position, Rooney's goals are indeed not high - Ruud van Nistelrooy and Milito are both ahead of Rooney in terms of goals scored.However, Ruud van Nistelrooy has been eliminated from Manchester United's tactical system this season. Although Milito played well, he is not very popular after all because he is mainly a point-grabbing type. Compared with Rooney, who has a great tactical role, he Still can't compare.

The four in the midfield are Joe Cole, Zhao Yaning, Gerrard, Lampard-Liverpool and Chelsea, and they split the four places equally.

There is no problem with Zhao Yaning's selection. Now he is the third scorer in the scorer list, second only to Ruud van Nistelrooy and Henry, and the number of assists is the first in the assist list, five more than the second Drogba. , such a result is already extremely impressive.

Although Lampard's performance this season is slightly worse than last season, it is more due to the obvious tactical role of Drogba and Essien, sandwiched between them, and Lampard's way of playing football is too monotonous Yes, it was good to have data support last season, but this season has begun to be doubted about its role and ability.But even so, no one can deny that Lampard is indeed one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.And this kind of selection has always focused on offensive ability. Lampard's excellent offensive ability naturally received more favor.

And after Gerrard switched to attacking midfielder this season, the number of goals suddenly rose to more than 10. Compared with Lampard, it is only a line behind.With achievements, data, and obvious and huge effect, he is naturally selected.

And the last spot was given to Joe Cole, because this season, when Robben and Duff were injured consecutively, Joe Cole played really well.This season can be said to be the pinnacle of his career.From being considered the best midfielder in England at the beginning, to being questioned after being widened, and then to playing outstandingly in the wide position, he can also be said to have completed his own nirvana.

The other players were all dropped out for various reasons.Figo, Robben, Duff, Giggs, Fabregas, Pires, Ljungberg, they all became the people who were squeezed out.

On the defense line, Riise, Terry, Ferdinand and Maicon were selected as the best defense line.As for the goalkeeper position, although Reina had more clean sheets for opponents, Cech conceded fewer goals and continued to be the best goalkeeper smoothly. [

Such a result is not too unexpected: Riise has few suitable competitors in this position.Ashley Cole suffered injuries this season and played less than ten games throughout the season, so it is naturally impossible to be elected.Manchester United's Evra has only half a season. Heinze was injured before, and Richardson played in a mess, and they are not competitive.Chelsea's left-back Gallas played very well, but now he and the club are having a good time, and have even started to slander each other: Gallas said that if he is not given a central defender position, he cannot perform well, but Chelsea officials immediately announced: Gallas claimed that if he didn't give him the central defender position, he would score an own goal. Gallas's words were certainly a threat, but Chelsea's approach was not authentic enough.The two sides were arguing happily, so Gallas, like Ashley Cole last season, affected his election because of this nonsense off-court problem.

As for Maicon's position, winning was easy and simple - his biggest competitor turned out to be Gary Neville.The overall strength of the right-backs in the entire Premier League is not good. Chelsea's Ferreira is enough to cheat people, and the replacement Del Horno is also cheated. Arsenal's Eboue has just been on the main team for a long time. , Like Evra, they are all newcomers.In this position, although Maicon's performance throughout the season was not very impressive, he still surpassed everyone's level. It is unjustifiable that he was not elected.

As for the position of central defender, Terry and Ferdinand were elected.The performance of the two of them is really good, but this season, Vidic and Carragher's performance is not bad.But because Vidic still has some big mistakes after all, and he played fewer games, it is impossible to compare with those two people.Although Carragher's club performance is good, after all, he was a substitute for those two in the national team, so he was naturally not selected.

As for the goalkeeper position, naturally there is no need to say more.Although Van der Sar played well, Lehmann squeezed out Kahn to be elected to the German national team, and Reina played well, and even squeezed out Barcelona goalkeeper Valdez to be selected for the Spanish team, but these few people, compared to Petr Cech, It is indeed a grade.

In this selection, the positions of the eleven players, Arsenal one, Manchester United two, Chelsea four, Liverpool four and the rankings of the clubs are very close.However, from another point of view, there are some other sayings.

"Did you see it?" Privately, Garcia was very disdainful of this selection, "Eleven people selected, six from the England national team! If it weren't for Ashley Cole getting too many injuries, Maicon played That’s great, they dared to select eight England national teams! Except for Henry, Joey, the three positions of goalkeeper can’t be faked, they can’t be crowded, they dare to mess with any position!”

Now that the big game is here, the English media naturally boast that they have more players.But this kind of method, Garcia is very despised.

"If you are capable, you have played to the level of Joey and Henry." Alonso's answer to this was also very simple, "Which league does not favor his own people? It is a normal thing. The real level is enough, and no one can be blacked out. Yours. Believe it or not, who is the best player you watched this year?"

"Need to say? It must be Joey." Garcia replied immediately, "Is there any need to think about this matter?"

Yes, really don't think about it.Just a few days later, the honor of the best player in the Premier League was also awarded: Zhao Yaning defeated Henry and became the best player in the Premier League this season.Although Henry's performance was more eye-catching, Zhao Yaning's performance was more stable, which also allowed him to win this award.

In this regard, Zhao Yaning was overjoyed outside, returned to the locker room, and threw the matter aside, "Guys, the game is not over yet. This season, we still have to play. Now that we have been elected as the best player, then we will continue to play." , In the last few days of competition, we have to continue to win no matter what, the championship must be ours!"
